Jo welcomes back Meidas Touch’s Ron Filipkowski for a brutally honest year-end reality check on American politics. They unpack the newest Epstein documents, what they reveal about power, money, and the protection of the ultra-rich, and why Trump’s promises to his base keep collapsing under the weight of his actual record.Ron explains why dozens of Republicans are bailing on the House, how student loan wage garnishments and health-care cuts could scramble 2026, and what Democrats need to do to win back seats in 2026. Plus, Jo and Ron look for slivers of hope in a year that has been darker, messier, and more exhausting than the first season of this political shitshow.
